Evidently not.

Sanford, who also admitted meeting his lover more times than he had
previously claimed, told The Associated Press in emotional interviews
that he "crossed lines" with a handful of other women during 20 years
of marriage.

It's hard to overlook this backdrop to his life while he was promoting
his "principaled" approach representing SC.

No, not at all. But the folks who voted for him based on his family
values and principled behavior sure must be enjoying the proceedings.

So? So did Clinton. At least Sanford went for a good looking women, who
did not work for him.

Actually, the more a Republican pol professes his/her piety, "family
values," and dedication to GOP principles, the more likely he or she is
pandering to the simple-minded party base.

As in: "Let's vote for Sanford...he's a god-fearing, christian family
man. We can overlook the fact that he's a flaming asshole."


It warms my cold, cold heart to see these self-righteous "conservative"
assholes take the big fall on issues of "morality" and so disappoint
their constituents.

How do you know that? He's admitted to several over-the-line
relationships, at least some of them might have been with staffers.

Would you say the same thing for Ensign? Cheating on his wife with a
staffer's wife who also worked for him?

Can you say flip-flop?

When you trade on faith and probity, you're owed a special torture
when proven as a skank.

Clinton didn't campaign on nor hold himself out as a maven of
morality.

Same place where I was when the previous occupant of the White House was
spending gobs of money in Bosnia. And how much did we really spend in Iraq?
We will have a military anyway. And upwards of 20-25% of the funding bills
were pork, with no connection to the war.

Plus Clinton's bosnia is still costing us money.

As is Afghanistan. And Iraq, which we should have left four months

You keep harping about Bosnia. Can you tell us how much we've spent
in Bosnia?

I expect it's a low single digit percentage of what's been pissed away
in Iraq.

Additionally, they don't rank as moral equivalents by any standard.

Bosnia may be an even more evil war. There was absolutely nothing in it for
us. Was a European problem if at all. How much of that Iraq funding was
pork? Percentage wise? 25%? 30%?

Actually according to the budget, it is about $850 billion. A far piece
from $3 trillion. And the pork part did not go to the war.
